Our friends gave us a real treat. We were invited over for lovely dinner (Thanks Dagmar) and to see one of the greatest models of Swiss trains possible. Werner (pictured above with Ruth), started making train models in his basement. After his basement was filled with tracks, forests and two towns, he began on a new venture in their backyard (pictured below). It is 1.4 meters high and 12 meters long with 4 interlooping tracks. Dagmar and Werner made extremely life-like Swiss villages, dorfli, camping platz, a carousel, and even a mountain top restaurant. Dagmar planted a miniature (bonzi-style) garden with trees and shrubs from different parts of Switzerland. All the trains I recognized from my extensive travel in Switzerland... and why not? They are some of the classiest engines around. We could tell they really enjoyed designing the model and the attention to detail. Very Swiss. Very Cool.
